Event information

Event handler parameters

eventInfo

Type: CustomEvent

detail.oldNewFocus

Remarks

ListView events execute synchronously, so avoid performing expensive operations in your event handler. Performing expensive operations in your event handler can make the ListView seem unresponsive to the user. If you need the event handler to perform an expensive operation, call setImmediate from your event handler and pass it a function that performs the operation or perform the operation as an asynchronous operation. For more info about asynchronous programming, see Asynchronous programming in JavaScript.

Setting event handlers declaratively (in HTML)

To set the event handler declaratively, it must be accessible to the global scope, and you must also call WinJS.Utilities.markSupportedForProcessing or WinJS.UI.eventHandler on the handler. You can make the handler accessible to the global scope by using WinJS.Namespace.define. For more information, see How to set event handlers declaratively.
